Fish tacos???

As many of you know, travel is all about finding the perfect I2PA or in chases a very nice meed will do in a pinch. There has and always will be the underlining need for food. And yes dear readers, fish tacos are the perfect food to go along with an I2PA.



Fish Taco: A hard or soft taco made with Cod or preferable Halibut, a nice spice sauce(either red or white in color), cabbage and cheese.



One must remember that all fish tacos are not created equally. Some are nothing more than "fast food", some have the time and care needed to be a true classic, but still miss the mark. A true fish taco is a work of art that needs to be cared for and brought to the table with love and served hot.

So where would go to get the best in fish tacos?

1. The Old Post in Missoula, MT. is a fine place to get you fish taco fix. You can chose from different types of fish, or live on the edge and go for a blacken fish taco. They also have Rogue and Big Sky brewing on tap.

2. Any of the Rogue Brewing joints. Served as a build your own, very nice.

3. Taco Del Mar located all over the place. The fish burrito is very good as well. This is more of a healthy fast food type of fish taco, but still very good. Go for the hot sauce on this one along with the white sauce.

From my limited travel around the good old US, I've come to think of fish tacos as a West Coast thing. When I'm back east I find that most everyone just gives me the deer in the head light look when I ask for a fish taco.

Can I find good fish tacos in San Diego? We are going to be there for a few days around Thanksgiving. Fish Tacos are a natural for penguins and other flightless water fowl.

Very much a west coast, indeed a SoCal surf-culture, invention. I have heard of them, and they sound delicious. I believe lime is also an ingredient south of you. I had one somewhere out here, and could tell as soon as I got it that it was a bad attempt. I too am looking forward to having the real thing in San Doego; pity I have to wait till November for it...

Fish taco's have been 'tried' around the country but they fizzle out quick. Funny, I lived in Southern Cal back when they were 'first' being tried there. I was in Laguna Nigel when they were making a big fuss about the "NEW Fish Tacos!" and I said "ewwww" and didn't try it. :)

Never fear the blackened Ahi tuna version of the fish taco at a local chain in the Seattle area called Canyons. Spicy, usually cooked medium rare........

Sorry, started drooling on my keyboard.

And it wasn't from the Brewtus glasses of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale I had with dinner.

Wild cow and Druish Deities

I have been blessed with being able to drive some of the most unbelievable roads ever paved. Last week I found myself on HWY 108 in Central California. 130 Miles 26% grade 9624 at the summit 4 hours to drive this route This photo is looking west just down from the summit. I could live here with the wild cows. A lone wild cow at the 9000 foot level just making sure that nobody is speeding along.

Today was a good day..

I'm flying home today from Phoenix, AZ. First good thing: I was moved from my favorite seat in coach to a window seat in first class. Second thing: The guy sitting next to me did not want to talk and left me alone on the flight. Third thing: The flight was smooth and on time. Fourth thing: I'm walking out of the gate area at the airport when a TSA guy calls me over and ask me if I wanted an item, because if not he was going to throw it away. And you know it would be darn shame to throw out a nice bottle of...... Yes, that is correct, a nice 750ml bottle of Sauza Tres Generaciones 100% Puro De Agave Tequila. I'm now very...very ........tanked. Thank you TSA. I'm a 40% by volume Woodchuck.

It seemed like a good ideal at the time...

The question has been asked and needs to be answered: So, you all know the type in high school, the "Jock". The Jocks ran my school like so many school around the country. And, of course, football players topped that heirarchy of the teen stratusphere. And this might come as a huge surprise to most, but I played Football. I had social responsibilities to up hold and order to maintain on campus. You might say we were the police, the law and order of the school. We patrolled the halls with an iron fist. The stoners stayed well behaved. The nerds were well protected in exchange for homework. Life was good. Then one sunny spring day a nice little "Miss Gloria Steinem wanna be," who wrote for the school paper, decides to write a story questioning the authority of the Football team. In this situation, most people would of course write a rebuttal. And this is exactly what we would have done, had any of us on the Football team been able to write. No luck on this one. Howeve...
